Junior Khanye Predicts Mamelodi Sundowns To Beat Orlando Pirates To League Title By 10 Points

Despite Orlando Pirates sitting pretty at the top of the Betway Premiership , former Kaizer Chiefs player Junior Khanye has backed defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns to clinch another league title.

Sundowns have become the dominant force in South African football in recent years, claiming seven consecutive league titles, while the Buccaneers have finished second twice in a row.

However, the Soweto giants have had a great start to the new season and are currently first in the league with 21 points from their seven games.

The Tshwane giants, on the other hand, are second with 18 points, with their loss coming at the hands of Polokwane City. It is a stark contrast to last season where they almost won the title unbeaten.

Both teams have qualified for the CAF Champions League group stages and are set to endure gruelling schedules as the season progresses.
